Ouch.

…In one editorial published before the May 2011 federal election, Mennonites were reminded about the pacifism that is at the centre of their faith, and to vote accordingly. The same magazine also published articles urging government to “spend less money on war.” There was another story urging compassion for the poor. There was also one […]

From the Kingston Whig-Standard, May 25, 1996. In yesterday lies tomorrow, etc. “…Liberals insiders say all will not be roses for Kennedy when he shows up at Queen’s Park. “He’s only been a member of the party for three months and he was talking with and meeting with people about his chances for being party […]

So says the Calgary Herald.  Just spotted.  Jumped to number two, which is rather nice of my home town: This week NON-FICTION Last week 1 Emotional Enlightenment . Jane Birdsell. Interpreting our emotions. 1 2 Fight the Right – Warren Kinsella. How to fight the conservatives. 3 Texting Dictionary of Acronyms . Randall Manning. Decoding […]

Gave a speech last week – and the week before that in Vancouver and Calgary – saying the same thing: the progressive coalition is women, young people and newcomers.
Without them, progressives can’t win.  With them all, progressives c…

We need a winner, who wins outside Toronto. Who’s all about jobs, not controversy. A uniter, not a divider. Honest, frugal, tough, smart.
There’s only one person who meets that job description:

Sigh. Here we go again. Here’s one from the archives: “Just study the case heretofore be known as the Toronto Star, et al. vs. Rob Ford. The Star threw everything it had against Ford — and everything it had behind Smitherman. The Star — which still has the largest circulation of any newspaper in the […]

As regulars know, zombies freak me out. I am, however, prepared for the zombie apocalypse, 24/7.
I do not regard this movie as entertainment. It is a documentary.

…and some Canadians did well, sayeth Nate Silver:
“…Ipsos, which conducted online polls for Reuters, came close to the actual results in most places that it surveyed, as did the Canadian online polling firm Angus Reid.”

It is revealing — but by no means surprising — how conservatives reacted to the re-election of Barack Obama this week. Most infamously, real estate developer Donald Trump lost his pea-sized mind on Twitter. Before President Obama won, Trump declared that the election had been a “total sham and a travesty.” After the results were […]

1. This is a pro-Pupatello web site. If you want to trash her or mindlessly promote another candidate, go elsewhere. Or, better yet, start your own frigging web site. 2. It’s a race among friends. I don’t plan to critique any team – save Team Hair and Teeth©, who drive me, and everyone else, bonkers […]

Quote: “The next Liberal leader has a mess to clean up, for sure. And if I were a member of the party, I’d be supporting Sandra Pupatello from Windsor. Here’s why:   • She’s focused on the economy: Pupatello was a Liberal MPP for 16 years, and was in several Cabinet posts during that time, including […]

Nice. And who’s the smiling young man in the front row on the left?

I’m not sure why aggregators, etc. are linking to them anymore, because you hit that infernal paywall now.
I’m sure they’ve been told this many times, but let me echo what others have doubtlessly said:
Yes, we all know the New York Ti…

For those who say he can’t speak without a TelePrompter – or that he is programmed, or that he lacks passion and emotion – take a good look at this.
My God, I am (still) so happy this guy won.

While some candidates were doing robocalls last night – and others readied themselves to do robocalls – Sandra Pupatello held a huge rally in Windsor last.  Folks who were there – and I would’ve been, too, had I not been giving a Fight The Right speech in Toronto – said there were more than 400 […]

The mere mention of this guy’s name is enough to make most people want to upchuck.  So what does his well-paid legal team do – in the midst of an OPP investigation, no less? They put him out there to depict himself as a “victim.” With a straight face. A bunch of monkeys would do […]

The Wynne campaign just did a robocall to a bunch of new Ontario Liberals. I wonder how they got their numbers?
Also, robocalls: interesting strategy, there.

For the Ontario Liberal leadership, I’m supporting Sandra Pupatello. She announced her candidacy just minutes ago here in Toronto, and she’s heading next to her home in Windsor to declare her intentions before a big hometown crowd. In the coming days and weeks, I’ll be writing more about why I’m supporting her. But for now, […]

Typical. But it won’t work.
Never does.
